Member of the Politburo, Secretary of the Party Central Committee, Head of the Central Organization Commission Pham Minh Chinh.

In the first two months of 2019, 60/63 provincial and municipal Party Committees and 63/70 central agencies and units completed the 2018 collective and individual review. Immediately after the review, localities and units focused on consulting on developing plans to correct and overcome limitations and shortcomings after self-criticism and criticism in conjunction with the implementation of Resolution 4 of the 12th Central Committee.

At the conference, representatives of Hung Yen, Phu Tho, Dien Bien provinces and Da Nang city said that, implementing the Central Government's regulations on taking votes of confidence, they have taken votes of confidence for leadership and management positions at all levels.

The initial results of the vote of confidence showed no signs of lobbying or taking advantage of the situation, and there were no cases of confidence below 50% to consider cadres. Thereby, it reflected the prestige and quality of the cadre team at agencies, localities and units, which is the basis for Party committees at all levels to arrange and assign cadres.

However, Head of the Organizing Committee of Phu Tho Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Van Khoe said: Through the vote of confidence, it shows that there is still a state of deference, low trust but still achieved a high number of votes of confidence...

Local representatives also said that they are working on a report on the two-year implementation of Resolution 4 of the 12th Central Committee on strengthening Party building and rectification.

In addition, attention is paid to improving the quality of Party cell activities. Notably, Vinh Phuc province issued guidelines for improving the quality of Party cell activities and criteria for assessing the quality of Party cell activities.

Speaking at the Conference, Comrade Pham Minh Chinh suggested that the Party Committee's Organizing Committee continue to innovate working methods and styles; build a team of cadres to do Party organization and building work that is "loyal, honest, pure, exemplary and proficient". At the same time, resolve conflicts between appointed people and the cadre work process.

Mr. Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: “Buying positions and power and assisting in buying positions and power is absolutely not allowed. We must oppose and resolutely eliminate it. As for the Central Organizing Committee and the Ministry of Home Affairs, which have the function of advising on personnel work, you comrades do not have to run, do not have to worry, do not have to worry about running to find this person or that person to influence. We are the ones responsible for overseeing this work. We must oppose buying positions and power.

Those who seek positions and power must definitely not use them and those who assist in seeking positions and power must be disciplined. Building a clean, healthy, democratic, objective, and honest cadre work to find a truly pure, knowledgeable, and exemplary cadre team”./.
